Physician Certification Statement for Non-Emergency Ambulance Services
Section 2 - Medicare Definition of “Medical Necessity” for Ambulance Transportation:
Medicare covers ambulance services, including fixed wing and rotary wing ambulance services, only if they are furnished to a beneficiary whose medical condition is such that other means of transportation are contraindicated.
The beneficiary's condition must require both the ambulance transportation itself and the level of service provided in order for the billed service to be considered medically necessary.
Nonemergency transportation by ambulance is appropriate if either:
o The beneficiary is bed-confined, and it is documented that the beneficiary's condition is such that other methods of transportation are contraindicated; or,
o If his or her medical condition, regardless of bed confinement, is such that transportation by ambulance is medically required.
Thus, bed confinement is not the sole criterion in determining the medical necessity of ambulance transportation. It is one factor that is considered in medical necessity determinations.
For a beneficiary to be considered bed-confined, the following criteria must be met:
o The beneficiary is unable to get up from bed without assistance. o The beneficiary is unable to ambulate. o The beneficiary is unable to sit in a chair or wheelchair.
The medical necessity definition above appears exactly as it is contained in 42 C.F.R. § 410.40.
Section 3 - Certification
I certify that the medical necessity requirements set forth above for ambulance services are met.
